Doesn't F4W tend to joke around in their reports? I wouldn't be surprised if this was a joke.
Besides, everyone knows the faint was legit because Traci couldn't withstand the sheer amazingness of Rain a.k.a Robert Roode Fan and probably soon to be a.k.a. "Velvety Smooth" or "Creamy Goodness" or whatever name they end up giving her.

Using the term "according to a source who overheard a conversation involving individuals who would absolutely know" is probably even worse than "according to Buff Bagwell's attorney". heh!? when was that quoted as a source?

I laughed out loud because it'll probably happen. EDIT: I can see next week's Wrestling Observer report:

f4w newsletter Russo strikes again! Of all the wacky BS that has happened in wrestling, this wouldn't be the least bit absurd. Okay, a wee bit absurd.

"According to a source who overheard a conversation involving individuals who would absolutely know" So.....how would that work out? The only thing that that sentence was missing was the word "totally".

Isn't it obvious? The F4W newsletter gets their information from a 17 year old Malibu socialite named Heather.

...THat's just really weird. Why would they do that? Has there been a story-line follow up at all?

In fairness, 66% of that stuff wasn't in any of Russo's tenures, and only a couple were related to the writing process.

You know I read several forums when I'm awake and bored in the middle of the night and this is honestly the only place I've ever seen act like Bryan Alvarez is some hack, he's well respected everywhere else.. What gives with that? Did he do something to piss this forum off?

I can only assume that the parts of the newsletter like this one that are posted and cause him to be scorned are not posted on the other forums

"According to a source who overheard a conversation involving individuals who would absolutely know" That has to be the least reliable source I have ever heard of.

Until the copy/paste news sites take it, change a few words without indicating they did so which end up changing it's meaning drasticly, then credit it to F4W.

Not that I know of, but from reading his reports, he's clearly anti-TNA, and that gets in the way of his journalism as you should just report the news with no bias.

I never understood why everyone was SO against his editorializing. So he's more of a critic or a columnist than a straight journalist...what's the deal?
As for sources, let's face it, there are never going to be reliable sources for backstage news.

Because he posts it as news, not as an editorial piece. That's like hanging a story about how you hate M&Ms on a piece nominally about a 2% hike in the retail price of M&Ms.

Because I don't know how a joke about the way a story was written is me labeling anybody a 'hack'. I'm sorry if my sense of humor regarding wrestling isn't understood with others around here who take internet wrestling writers more seriously than I ever will. Or maybe I should change my disclaimer in the signature to orange so everyone can see it clearer.

What gives with that? Did he do something to piss this forum off? well he enjoys talking badly about tna, which is one thing but not that big of a deal. it gets annoying when he does nothing but give his opinions on why everything tna is stupid. that annoys some people. the thing that gets me, is that he routinely posts things in his report that make many wonder if he actually watches tna or just reads about it. case in point when he started running down the feast or fired match. he was claiming it was going to be tna's pay per view main event, which it was never hyped as. now maybe he thought it was going to be the main event, but if he had actually watched the last two tv shows of the company he is "reporting" on he would have heard endless hype about the pay per view main event. to summarize he gets heat here because: he is whiny and and clearly hates tna he often flubs details of the biggest feuds in the company gets facts twisted leading many to believe he doesn't even bother watching the show he tries to justify wwe doing something stupid by saying things like "they are allowed to do that type of thing they are wwe" much respect to the guy but he comes off as quite a hack.

It wasn't really meant at you, it was more a general thing I've seen several people bring the hate for Alvarez. Also for the other post, Alvarez rips the shit out of the WWE, if you listen to his free show he does after Raws he despises Hornswoggle. His the "wwe can get away with it" is the same premise Lance Storm had in his rants. They're a big company that makes money and has an established audience..TNA is none of those. That doesn't excuse the WWE for doing stupid shit but their mistakes won't put them out of business where TNA still can get to that point. So do you think Lance is in the same boat with Bryan..honest question.
